Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, any UNH undergraduate may use CFAR services. We recommend that all students, especially first year and transfer students, visit CFAR within their first few weeks of classes. 

CFAR isn't just for students who are struggling in their courses. Many students just want to learn how to study more efficiently so they can better manage their time. Some are very high performing students who want to keep a high GPA for scholarships, graduate school. etc.

Come to CFAR drop-in hours as soon as you know you're having difficulty. We can help you with strategies to get back on track and/or refer you to other campus resources.  It is always a good idea to talk to your professor and/or TAs  during office hours. 

CFAR does not provide subject area tutoring, but we can help you with strategies to help you learn the material. We can also coach you on how to hire a tutor.  In addition, students eligible for TRIO Student Support Services may  be able to receive free content tutoring.

In the rare case where a student can’t use drop-in ours, please contact us at cfar.sss@unh.edu or call 603-862-3698 and we'll try and work something out.

CFAR can help you find strategies, make a  study plan, or refer you to other campus resources. The Student Accessibility Services office is where students experiencing a disability can request accommodations; we share a reception area.

We are. We realize this is a major disruption in student's lives and adjusting to a drastic change in course delivery can be difficult.  We are here via email, virtual drop-in hours, and "ask a mentor" resources.
